BANGKOK—The Chinese Consulate in Burma’s (also known as Myanmar) second-largest city has been slightly damaged by an explosive device, but there were no casualties, the military, independent media, and a city resident said Saturday.
No public claims of responsibility were made for the attack on Friday in Mandalay. China is a major ally of Burma’s military, which came to power after ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in 2021 but is now fighting fiercely against resistance forces challenging its rule.
